2 Corinthians 3:5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God.
Asking for help or something, is not a sign of weakness, immaturity, inexperience, or lack of training, everyone is inadequate in some (many) ways. Children don't hesitate to ask for help, while adults are sometimes hesitant due to pride. If we are to make progress in our spiritual life, we have to embrace both realities: inadequacy and a willingness to ask God for help. The Bible says God is our Abba (the Aramaic word for "daddy") who stands ready to hear His children's requests for help (Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:6).
If we were sufficient in all things, we wouldn't need God's sufficiency. It is up to us to recognize our inadequacy and be willing to ask for help.

This is a faithful saying, and worthy of acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief. 1 Timothy 1:15
